Mō Ten's Stock Skyrockets! His Tactical Insight Rivals Great General Ō Sen's — "This Is What I Love About Him" — Anime "Kingdom" Season 6 Episode 9

Episode 9 of the anime "Kingdom" Season 6 has been airing sequentially since November 29th. The brilliant Mō Ten (CV: Hirofumi Nojima) demonstrated his keen insight by seeing through the tactics of Qin's Great General Ō Sen (CV: Kenyū Horiuchi) and others, impressing viewers with reactions like "Impressive!" and "This is what I love about Mō Ten."

Mō Ten is the captain of the Qin army unit "Gaku Ka Tai," who has a grandfather and father who are both Great Generals. He is intellectually brilliant, well-versed in military strategy, and possesses talents recognized by the genius strategist Shō Hei Kun (CV: Junichi Suwabe).

In Episode 9, "The Weight of Resolve," Mō Ten was assigned the role of a decoy to confuse the enemy by Ō Sen and General Makō (CV: Dai Matsumoto). When Makō said, "Lord Ō Sen, perhaps we should give this young upstart with his aristocratic airs some kind of decoy strategy..." Mō Ten responded, "That won't be necessary" and "Don't worry, the Gaku Ka Tai's way of fighting will properly connect to the Makō army's wave attacks."

When Makō asked, "You bastard, how do you know our army will launch wave attacks?" Mō Ten smiled provocatively, saying, "I'll be waiting with the perfect setup, so please do your part from there, General Makō." Afterward, Mō Ten demonstrated such impressive performance on the battlefield that even Ō Sen and Makō were impressed, just as he had declared.

Online, praise gathered for Mō Ten, who had seen through the strategy, with comments like "This is what I love about Mō Ten," "Impressive!" and "He understood the tactics Makō would deploy without even being told..."
